Shake Sugaree

I've got a secret

I ain't gonna tell

I'm goin' to heaven in a split pea shell

Oh, Lordy me, didn't we shake sugaree

Everything I have is down in pawn



I pawned my watch, an' I pawned my chain

[Even I don't deserve myself, so ?] ashamed

Oh, Lordy me, didn't we shake sugaree

Everything I have is down in pawn



I've got a song to sing

Ain't very long

I'm gonna sing it right if it take me all night long

Oh, Lordy me, didn't we shake sugaree

Everything I have is down in pawn



I've got a secret

I ain't gonna tell

I'm goin' to heaven in a split pea shell

Oh, Lordy me, didn't we shake sugaree

Everything I have is down in pawn
